Help::Auto-Download

When the slider is in the ON position clicking the download link will download the craft and open the download tab so show you more info

When the slider is in the OFF position clicking the download link will just open the download tab without downloading the craft

erm....why?
Once you've downloaded a craft the slider will automatically move to the OFF position, so you can then open the download tab without re-downloading the craft each time.
If you want to re-download the craft there will be a link in the download tab

It also acts as a visual que to remind you which craft you've already downloaded, if it's in the OFF position (red) you've already downloaded the craft.
As you are not logged in it will only remember what craft you've downloaded in this session.

This started as an experiment in survivability. I tested it on Duna and the result was impressive. It circumnavigated Duna in just less than 12 hours.

The name comes from the Australian Tiger Beetle, more specifically the Cicindela Hudsoni, famous for being the fastest running insect on Earth.

What you see are wheels on the front and back. These are the bumpers. They work extremely well. The vehicle drove for 2000 km, often slamming into the terrain and rolling over. It finished its run without any damage. Top speed on flat terrain is ~55 m/s but it will gladly accelerate to 70 or more on downhill slopes.

This download comes with a fairing and lander. It doesn’t have a launch vehicle but you can build it yourself. I’ve also tested it on the Mun but it’s better to reduce the spring rate of the main wheels. Part count of the vehicle itself should be around 55, mass with two kerbals around 6.5t.

Works best with the Mechjeb Rover Autopilot.

Fuel consumption is low. Don’t forget to switch on the fuel cells.

On kerbin and some other high gravity worlds the reaction wheels don’t have enough torque to right it up if it lands on its roof. Add more wheels if you need them.
